Com on man spring corn snow is next best to deep Pow,the hold your breath deep where you either hold your breath on each turn or use a snokle to breath.

Plus the end of the season cheap lift tickets,keystone/A-basin $10,vail ? Not sure this year but $20 last April included beaver creek. Plus the hot chicks from around the world if timing is right copper mtn last day they have the best " ennie wieny bikini contest complete with a small pond they skin across, better than a wet T-shirt contest,no fat chicks in western ski resorts and mostly smokin Hot
I skied on down snow 3/4 of the year. It’s not so fun in March when you did it every other month of the season. Nowhere has any snow, very subdued year.

I think you better get back into your Time Machine. Cheapest big mountain end of year ticket I saw was $60 and it wasn’t central Colorado.

I hope it dumps its dry right now. Don’t give a shit if it’s rain or snow we need it bad.

I’ll be there this weekend lol. I guess I need to know someone to find a ticket 😂
Actually the best discounts for visitors occurs during the last 7 to 10 days of the season looking for ticket discounts in March ain't happening. If you ever come to summit cty send me a message, depending on your skiing ability I would be happy to meet up and show you around,mid season we perfer Vail most often the 4 mtns to ski,high speed quad lifts are exceptional as well as the manicured runs on the lower mtn. The lower elevations in March below 10000' can be challenging as snow conditions turn to mashed potatoes on open runs skiing the tree's is best.

If you actually skied them, you'd know they are spelled chutes.
Still going on bigtime hiking above lifts on peak 10 Breckenridge 13000'

Man you are such a bullshitter. Peak 9 and 10 closed last weekend. And I'll guarantee you haven't seen a $20 lift ticket to any of Vail resorts in about 20 years, April or otherwise.

Sap really took off again. Have to boil off a 120 qt cooler full this time.

Added a siphon between pans and a kludged pre-heater to help me maintain a rolling boil to beat the coming storm (7-12” forecast for little minneapolis tonight).

Even if syrup was a life line for me, not sure I would go through all of that to ready it.

Its like my buddy Clint, who is worth millions, but was not willing to purchase a prebuilt "ice castle", so he went out and purchased an aluminum welder, all the tools to work this aluminum frame he was going to build it out of, the drop axle, then tearing apart an old camper to get the stove, heater, and water heater out of it, the entire winter into the spring working on it. All said and done he had 400 hours, and $40,000 grand of equipment and parts to build it.

2 seasons later he parked the homemade fish house at his storage facility and purchased the ice castle he was wanting in the first place.

He does of course still have the welder, and all the tools, so the investment wasn't a total loss...
